Project overview
Excelsior Works is a collection of 108 1- and 2-bedroom apartments in what was Manchester’s industrial centre, designed by Tim Groom Architects, it also features a communal roof garden and a basement car park.
The building occupies a plot left vacant after the derelict printing mill that was there previously was demolished in 2015. Excelsior Works incorporates Charnwood Dark Red Handmade bricks and each brick was stamped with the makers’ initials. Brick was used to retain the heritage of the area and the deep tones of the Dark Red bricks were perfect for this.
Excelsior Works overlooks the Bridgewater Canal and offers easy access to the centre of Manchester. Various call-backs to its history are dotted throughout the structure, ensuring that its rich industrial heritage will not be forgotten.
